Used up leftover curry for bento.
I was going to make rabbit with mashed potato, but the potato I had at home was yellow....
So made pooh bear instead :p
I think the most difficult part of character bento is crating face parts....
It was difficult to cut the narrow lines like mouth><

To make dakon bear,

You need,

Daikon radish
Soy sauce
Nori seaweed

1. Grate daikon

2. Squeeze a little liquid out of grated daikon by a hand, just enough to make it easy to shape.
3. Add a little soy sauce to color the daikon.
4. Shape body, hands, legs and face and put those together.
5. Cut a piece of nori seaweed to create the face parts.

Chicken teriyaki is one of the popular Japanese dishes!
Usually it's made with chicken thigh, but I made it with chicken breast for bento.
Marinated with grated onion, chicken breast gets soft and juicy:)

I made a chicken and a chick with rice and egg for fun, thinking about oyako don! (oyako means parents and kids )
